Indian Essence - Nambour

Always open later than other restaurants in the coastThe waitstaff manager (at least I think that's his position) is SO friendly.

I attended a casual lunch meeting there and the food was adequate. For a group of 8, I must admit, he did a great job of juggling all the different roles and getting our food served about the same time. I will return and try something else on the menu.

This newly opened restaurant is currently offering a lunchtime curry and rice for $6.95. Excellent value. The surroundings are basic, and there was very little choice of drinks on offer, but the curry was generous and excellent. Cooked fresh, it was served in a take-away container with a separate section for the rice. As I was eating in, I also had a large plate and cutlery. The curry was medium - and it matched the description unlike other restaurants who hold back on the heat. If you don't like it hot then definitely choose the mild rather than medium - but I loved it. Will definitely be back.

The food was delicious and authentic, and my order was prepared very quickly.

The online ordering process was simple, my order was prepared quickly, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced.
